    as long as they are not maroon or clarkii youll be fine with the aggression problems. they wont get much bigger either. probably a max of 3-4 inches. unlike a maroon thats 5+ inches

    I have had my bicolored angel for 5 years and has NEVER nipped any of my coral. He can be a little bossy to new fish, but by the next day they are friendly. I love mine.

    you can never be quite positive your dwarf angel will not nip at corals. you may get it and it doesnt nip then a year later it will start. they are hard to predict. its pretty much a crap shoot but if it starts nipping just trade it in.

    I love this hobby at times. My LFS was like "look in the book, not reef safe". Hey look, any fish regardless can nip coral if it chooses to. It's nature. A lab can rip your throat out if it chooses to as well, but they tend not to. ;)

    yours seems very healthy and not nipping at corals but like i said you can never be sure. but you can get one anyway and if it doesn nip just exchange it.
